Friar Sand, pinching Pilgrim, murmured under his breath, “Brother, they want it so badly — and here they come praying again.”

捻著: 著 = zhe, keeping hold of the pinch. 要得緊: 得 = de, linking the verb to how much of it -- they want it badly.

行xíng者zhě道dào:「與yǔ他tā些xiē罷ba。」 行xíng者zhě道dào:「与yǔ他tā些xiē罢ba。」

Pilgrim said, “Let's give them a little.”

與他些罷: 罷 = ba at the end of a sentence, the softener that turns an order into a suggestion, and the same word later written 吧. It is not bà le, the pair 罷了 that means "and that is that" -- pypinyin reaches for bà here and is wrong.

八bā戒jiè寂jì寂jì道dào:「那nǎ裡lǐ有yǒu得dé?」 八bā戒jiè寂jì寂jì道dào:「那nǎ里lǐ有yǒu得dé?」

Bajie whispered, “Where would we get any?”

那裡: 那 = nǎ, "where?" -- the questioning reading, and here a rhetorical one, since Bajie means "nowhere." 有得: 得 = dé, to be had.

行xíng者zhě道dào:「你nǐ只zhǐ看kàn著zhe我wǒ,我wǒ有yǒu時shí,你nǐ們men也yě都dōu有yǒu了le。」 行xíng者zhě道dào:「你nǐ只zhǐ看kàn着zhe我wǒ,我wǒ有yǒu时shí,你nǐ们men也yě都dōu有yǒu了le。」

Pilgrim said, “Just watch me — once I have some, you will all have some too.”

看著: 看 = kàn, 著 = zhe -- keep watching, not glance once. 都有了: 都 = dōu.


總評 Commentary

Three disciples confer in whispers while the chanting goes on outside: Friar Sand dry, Bajie flatly sceptical about where holy water is supposed to come from, Wukong serenely unbothered.

"Just watch me -- once I have some, you will all have some too" is the hinge of the entire prank, and it is funnier on a second reading than a first. Bajie asks the practical question and gets an answer that is not evasive at all. Wukong means it exactly.
